I miss those days when he could write great songs like Letitgo

Amen. Although he was almost there recently...

Days of Wild, Wasted Kisses and Calhoun Square just off the top of my head, so no. It's a good song though.

Bored me then, maybe I'll give it a spin.

Almost everything on TGE is better than Letitgo, in my opinion. It's catchy, but far from the best of the mid 90s

Not it's not

I love that song, but Prince was strong in the '90s.

A lot of great music. Cool time to be a fan.

I thought things would be crazy once the internet became more mainstream, but I wrong.

I think it is, Prince embracing modern R&B-hip/hop but still sounding like Prince, dark and sensual, self-councious lyrics about his whole mid-'90s situation

Do do do what I do, and

And love so-and-so"

Bang bang on the drummer

and love some soul...is the lyric.

I love the album and Sherm Stick versions but I wouldn't say it's his bes song of the 90's.

It's up there, though.

I listen to the original configuration of the COME album just to avoid Letitgo.

'Nothing Compares 2 U' is from 1985, and 'Last Heart' from 1986.

That aside, 'Letitgo' is great.

My personal favorite from the mid '90s/the whole '90s is 'Hide The Bone'.

But that's not a Prince original, so it doesn't count either. Letitgo talks about his issues with the music bizz and such, but that in itself doesn't make it a good song. His best mid 90s works imo are the songs where he talks about racial/social issues: Race, The Undertaker, Shy. In other words, where he's looking at the world at large, not just his own paisley world. Hate U is pretty good too.

Not an original? Because he didn't write the lyrics?

The Undertaker & House In Order live, with Levi & the band, those were always great.
Absolutely hate 'Shy' though.
And 'I Hate U' is good, but not anything special.

What led you to believe that?

I got the album the week it came out while on vacation in Louisiana and weirded my aunt out with all the pussy eating sounds on the title track.

Okay, I was jumping to conclusions. Sorry.

a classic

It was a bad album to play around family members. I remember I was blasting the CD loud in my bedroom the day it came out, I went downstairs for something and was talking to my mum and sister, next thing Orgasm comes (no pun intended) on. I can still see the look on their faces now, I must have got back up those stairs quicker than road runner to turn it off.

Hide the Bone

This funk masterpiece should have been the opening track on TGE!

as for "Letitigo"....I think it's a lazy song.I feel this way about much of the Come album
